I am out on Thursday with our local U3A Photographic Group in one of our local parks, so I will take pictures of trees. I will use my wide lens AF, F22 and my camera is set at auto ISO AND I WILL USE MY TRIPOD. Have you anything else to add to that would be appreciated.
I will explain to those who wonder what a U3A. It stands for University of the Third age and is for those over 50 who forms groups and learn from each other.
Take some with other apertures (F10 and thereabouts) and compare them. F22 is not always a good choice due to diffraction. Also, take some with the ISO set to its base level, set your aperture and let the camera pick the shutter speed to get a proper exposure. This way you can find what settings give you the results you are looking for.
